Roots are key organs for water and nutrient acquisition transport. Therefore, root phenes that associated with adaptation to low phosphorus (P) environments could enhance top-soil exploration, while deeper allocation is important acquiring mobile nutrients. The understanding of interactions among can help in the development common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes adapted drought fertility...

Ethylene stimulated RNA and protein synthesis in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Red Kidney) abscission zone explants prior to abscission. The effect of ethylene on RNA synthesis and abscission was blocked by actinomycin D. Carbon dioxide, which inhibits the effect of ethylene on abscission, also inhibited the influence of ethylene on protein synthesis. An aging period appears to be essential ...

The major storage protein fraction, globulin-1 protein, of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The protein pattern suggested a more complex system for globulin-1 protein than the model of three polypeptides, alpha, beta, and gamma, differing in molecular weight. Isoelectrofocusing analyses of the individual proteins showed that each exhibited cha...

The carbohydrate moiety of secretory arabinogalactan protein in bean seedlings (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Prélude) is attached to the peptide backbone through hydroxyproline, serine, and threonine. Hydroxyproline-linked side chains, consisting of arabinose, galactose, glucose, and rhamnose, comprise the major part of the sugar residues. These hydroxyproline glycosides differ from those in non-e...

We analyzed the pharmacokinetics of C3G on data from twelve subjects, after 2-week multiple dosing of black bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, Cheongjakong-3-ho) seed coat extract, using the mixed effect analysis method (NONMEM, Ver. 6.2), as well as the conventional non-compartmental method. We also examined the safety and tolerability. The PK analysis used plasma concentrations of the C3G on day 1 and...

Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola (Psph) Race 6 is a globally prevalent and broadly virulent bacterial pathogen with devastating impact causing halo blight of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Common bean lines PI 150414 and CAL 143 are known sources of resistance against this pathogen. We constructed high-resolution linkage maps for three recombinant inbred populations to map resistance...

The fungus Pseudocercospora griseola, the causal agent of angular leaf spot in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), exhibits a broad pathogenic variability that complicates the development of resistant cultivars. For breeding programs to successfully obtain common bean cultivars with durable resistance, knowing the aggressiveness of different strains, as well as the mechanisms of genetic re...

Phaseolus vulgaris L. (Fabaceae) forms symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia (NFB). The tripartite relationship uses molecular singals to establish intracellular in roots. goal of this study was determine if Rhizobium tropici CIAT 899 exogenous riboflavin (vitamin B2) have an effect on AMF species selection root colonization P. vulgaris. Using SSU rRNA f...

Legumes contain a variety of phytochemicals derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway that have important effects on human health as well as seed coat color, plant disease resistance and nodulation. However, the information about the genes involved in this important pathway is fragmentary in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The objectives of this research were to isolate genes that function ...
